Update as of August 24th 2020: In a recent announcement, the central government has asked the states to end the e-pass curfew for inter-state and inter-district movement. However, the state governments may or may not lift the travel restrictions depending on their assessment of the situation. Many states including Tamil Nadu still observe restrictions on non-essential travel. Some states have started allowing instant e-pass. You need a valid ePass for inter-district and inter-state travel for such states. Read state-wise ePass rules carefully before travelling.

Is ePass required for air travel?
Following the lockdown 2.0 de-escalation that allows domestic flights to resume services, the government has made it mandatory for travellers to obtain an ePass for interstate travel. Luckily for us, the Travel Ministry has launched a website where we can apply for an ePass online for 17 states across the country. This excludes some major states and the Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri hints that the scale at which each state restarts domestic flights depends on their own travel guidelines.
He says more flights will be recommenced in a calibrated manner soon and that the airline operations are smooth till now.
